A Dhaka court has placed quota reform movement leader Lutfur Nahar Luna on a three-day remand in a case filed against her for allegedly spreading rumours on social media.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Kazi Kamrul Islam issued the order on Thursday when Inspector Md Rafikul Islam of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Cybercrime unit, also the investigation officer in the case, produced her before the court with a five-day remand petition.

The court also denied a bail plea for the accused, and ordered the investigation officer to interrogate her in the presence of female police officials.
